\r\nThe new inductees have almost two centuries of public education service among them, all six having begun their careers as classroom teachers. Five of the six honorees have served as administrators at the campus or district level and two have been groundbreaking counselors.\r\n
\r\nAll six inductees have earned at least one advanced degree and/or administrative certification, while one has been mayor of Hope, one has been superintendent of schools in Hope, one was an ordained minister, and one has served on the Hope Public Schools Board.\r\n
\r\nFour of the six are Hope natives and three of the honorees have coached athletics teams.\r\n
\r\nThe inductees of the Class of 2020-2021 include Junanne Brown, Rose Davis, Kennth Muldrew, Bobby Whitmarsh, Rev. Dr. W. G. Wynn, and Floyd Young.\r\n
\r\nNominations were solicited from the community, from professional education organizations and from education-related organizations of former HPSD educators with at least 10 years of active service as an HPSD educator, administrator or support professional, inclusive of posthumous nominations.\r\n
\r\nThe six honorees comprise the third class of the HPSD Educator Hall of Fame since the inaugural class was selected during the Hempstead County Bicentennial year in 2018.\r\n
